I initially thought this post was a parody of a typical hacker news reading software engineer working on a startup. There are just so many cliches here it's almost cringe worthy. Reminds me of that homejoy post where the founder was bragging that half the company was working on Christmas Eve.

But the work is what I enjoy. You think I'd do all this just to make money? :-)
That said, I will take a break and go have dinner with a buddy of mine. That's really my "Christmas celebration".
So.. right now I'm taking a break, watching this video (Sam Altman interviewing Mark Zuckerberg) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb4IcGF5iTQ and then planning to sleep in a little while.
Once I wake up, I'll cook, and then spend the rest of the day fixing up that PDF business, and the email sending stuff.
Once that's done the next couple of items on the TODO list include wiring up the OAuth integration where this app makes calls to other backend services, and doing more work to make our SSO server production ready.
Also need to spin up a new VPS (probably at Hetzner) to deploy this app.
Not sure how much of that I'll get through today, but that's roughly what I'll be doing.
